This thing is still one, and is being morphed and and changed as we speak. The group Will This Float? that I’m a board member of has secured the space and we are starting to get the word out.
Technically… it is being called a FloatCamp because, well, the Will This Float? group has started the planning and there are some set presentations and events that we will be doing. So we didn’t want to straight up call it a BarCamp because they, typically, are completely free form with nothing being set until that day.
That being said, there is plenty of timeslots and space for anyone to show up and speak and share their knowledge… so it is half BarCamp and half a Will This Float? event.
The date, tentative I think is March 28th. It had been set for March 21st but that is the weekend of the Bristol Nascar races in this area… a time when pretty much everything shuts down. Except for the racecars that is.
The biggest next step is making sure we get the word out. What if you had a BarCamp and no one showed up. We are aiming for 150 people.
